Question

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

I am honored to be taking over for H C A student, who has done a fantastic job with this post. We all owe him a hearty thank you. ¡Muchas gracias, H C A !

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them and H C A student faithfully continued.

• Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

• Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

• Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Answer 5

Extraño. Estas escaleras no parecieron tan largas desde abajo.

Odd. These stairs didn't look so long from below.

Ann, impar means an odd number, not strange(odd) Eso es extraño = That's strange. I would say; ¡Eso es extraño, estás escaleras no parecían tan largos desde arriba! - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

You need to check the context of the sentence in which the word will be used to know/understand how the Spanish use words and expressions...context determines meaning! ;) - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

Ann. an important correction: Not, 'desde" arriba ! I should have written desde 'abajo' I hope this helps! - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

..you can say 'que raro or just 'raro' esas escaleras no parecían tan largAs desde...' :) - Pablo064, Apr 20, 2015

Yes, thank you a tiempo I forgot to check the gender of escaleras - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

Thanks, Feliz. I usually do try to check context. Not altogether awake this morning. - AnnRon, Apr 20, 2015

Don't worry, Ann ...most of us have moments like that lol - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

Thanks for posting AnnRon! :) - sanlee, Apr 20, 2015

:) Have a badge. - sanlee, Apr 21, 2015

Thanks, sanlee. ;>) - AnnRon, Apr 21, 2015

Answer 6

Answer 7

Con correcciones: La perra está pensando en voz alta:
? ¿A veces te da la impresión de que la vida es muy difícil, nos cuesta mucho....eso decir, dos pasos adelante, dos pasos hacía atrás! ?

Mil gracias, a tiempo por tus correcciones.

The dog is thinking aloud: "Do you ever (sometimes) get the feeling that life is an uphill struggle?! I mean, two feet (steps) forwards, two feet back!

Editor's note/s: The word 'ever' in this context means sometimes /on some occasions/ occasionally, so I have decided to translate it as: 'a veces', instead of alguna vez = at any time (singular occasion)

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor

Thanks for posting, Feliz! - sanlee, Apr 20, 2015

You are welcome, Sanlee I love 'Picture of the day! - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

I'd say 'es decir instead of eso decir' ^^ - Pablo064, Apr 20, 2015

You can either say: I have 'had' my gymnsstic exercise = He tenido mi ejercicio gymnastico or I am having my gymnastic exercise = Estoy teniendo mi ejercicio gymnastico .I hope this helps :) - FELIZ77, Apr 20, 2015

Thanks Feliz - porcupine7, Apr 21, 2015

The owner decided this would work even better than a doggy fence.

El dueño decidió que esto funcionaría aún mejor que un valla de perros.

jaja 'vallita' would have been cute - Pablo064, Apr 21, 2015

Answer 13

Podría ser que el perro esté teniendo el sueño de las 'escaleras sin fin'.

it could be that the dog is having the 'endless stairway' dream

If he keeps running, it may be the stairway to heaven... doggy heaven. guitars fade. - katydew, Apr 21, 2015

Only another 5 minutes on the treadmill,then I tackle the weights. Solo cinco minutos más en el molino de rueda,entonces yo afrontará los pesos.
